★ 2 stars
the previous book was disappointing to say the least and for that reason i went into this one with very low expectations. i honestly didn’t believe that i would have the best time with it, but deep down i was hoping i was wrong and that maybe it would end up surprising me. as you can notice, that’s not what happened.
my experience reading this was not the best (which is obvious if you’ve read my updates) multiple times i felt the urge to DNF, but i didn’t because it was the final installment of the series and, well, i didn’t read 12 books to give up at the last one so i pushed through. was it worth it? no, it really wasn’t. but you know what, i’m very proud of myself for not giving up. it was not easy, but i made it.
i started reading the Like Us series at the beginning of 2022 and at that time i was obsessed with Luna and Donnelly. their books weren’t even released yet, all we had was just small scenes of them in other character’s books, but even so, i can tell you that they were my favorite couple and that i was beyond excited to read their story. at the end of that year, Misfits Like Us released and i adored it, i was pretty sure that i would adore their next books as well. then, in 2023, their second book Unlucky Like Us came out and i didn’t like the direction their story went in at all. and on top of that, i also realized that i just didn’t care that much about them anymore. sure, i still had some positive feelings towards them; but generally speaking, i definitely didn’t feel the same way as before. reading Nobody Like Us made me realize how much i have grown detached from Luna and Donnelly — as individuals and as a couple.
Luna and Donnelly were bland and unremarkable for the majority of the book, i found both of their personalities tedious here. i was deeply uninterested in them and also in their personal struggles, i genuinely couldn’t care less, sorry. it truly breaks my heart to say that because i used to have these two as my favorite characters in the series and i wasn’t expecting to have such negative thoughts about them. don’t get me wrong — i’m not saying that i hate them now, i don’t, i’m just not as fond of them as i used to be.
as for the romance; it was so meh and lackluster. i didn’t feel emotionally invested at all and i was almost dying of boredom reading their moments together. it failed to captivate me. and don’t even get me started with the amount of pathetic and cringe scenes between them... especially the ‘spicy’ ones. some of them had me cringing so hard that i had to take a break and stop reading for a few minutes (seriously, i’m not exaggerating). i lost count of how many times i cringed.
i really didn’t want to feel this way, but it is what it is. i wholeheartedly believed that Lunnelly had a lot potential, it’s a shame the authors wasted it. sighs.
this book is over 800 pages long, and for the love of god, just tell me what is the point of that. it’s absolutely unnecessary for it to be this long, mainly because the plot itself is not even very interesting to begin with, it was boring and repetitive and there was a lot of pointless filler scenes. i guarantee you that it could’ve easily been 200 pages shorter (or maybe even shorter than that).
although i didn’t like this book, i decided to give it 2 stars because, surprisingly, there were a few good things:
➛ 1. Lily and Lo crumbs; they are my everything and i’ll never get tired of reading about them.
➛ 2. a significant amount of scenes with Xander; i enjoyed every single one of his scenes. he’s my favorite Hale kid so of course i was happy to see him.
➛ 3. other side characters; apart from Lily, Lo and Xander, some of the other side characters kept me interested as well.
➛ 4. the last 85% of the book; it was somewhat interesting. nah, interesting is a strong word, let’s just say it became less insufferable.
and that’s about it.
even though i liked the things above, i must say that, overall, Nobody Like Us was not an enjoyable read for me — i’m very happy to be done with this book, such a relief! i’m also glad that this series is finally over and, frankly, i don’t think i’m gonna miss it. now i’m looking forward to the Cobalt Empire series series. i hope, and i believe, that it will be way better and far more interesting than this one. we shall see.

After 13 books, I can’t believe the ‘Like Us’ series has come to an end. But what a way to go out. Nobody Like Us is the third Lunelly book and I haven’t loved a book couple more since LiLo. I’m obsessed with these two together and it’s made their books so special to me.
Luna and Donnelly love each other so much. And not only that, they genuinely like each other all the time. It’s so refreshing to see a couple that into one another and 100% comfortable with letting the other person be exactly who they are. Paul Donnelly has a messed up family, but he is an amazing man despite it all. And Luna is the best. My favorite little weirdo. I was so proud of her in this one.
I don’t want to talk about the storyline much, but I loved the direction it took, especially the ending. That epilogue was everything! The Hales are my absolute favorite fictional family and I never complain about getting more of them. Loren was incredible in this one and I’m still hoping we get a Xander book one day because I’m so intrigued by him!
I love starting January off with a 5-star favorite that I know will make my 2024 favorites list! This book was perfect for me. I highly recommend reading it, and I’m looking forward to the Cobalt spin-off because I need more of my favorite characters!

This was everything I wanted for Luna and Donnelly's last book and more. I didn't think it was possible to love these characters anymore than I already did but here we are.
The growth these two show over the course of this mammoth book had me so incredibly proud of them. They had so many odds stacked against them, but it's undeniable that Luna and Donnelly are meant to be, in every universe. They worked so freaking hard for themselves and each other.
And not only did we get some of my new favorite Lunnelly moments, we also got many of my new favorite side character moments. I loved seeing all the characters interacting together. All the big group scenes were *chef's kiss* And the smaller moments between other characters - Donnelly and Farrow and the forever strengthening of their bond, Donnelly and Lo, Luna and Eliot & Tom, those troublemakers, Luna and Charlie. PLUS all the crumbs we got about the Cobalts we get ready for their series!
No joke, Nobody Like Us is filled with all my hopes and dreams that I've harbored for Luna and Donnelly FOR YEARS. There were scenes that I've been requesting on Patreon that actually made it into a book. There were burning questions and suspicions I've had that were finally answered. I've been waiting on a certain date to happen in a very special location, and it happened at last. There were life changes that I have daydreamed about for Luna and Donnelly, and IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Dreams do come true. By the end of this book, I just filled with so much joy for these two characters who deserve it all and got it all.
Of course with this book, we get the conclusion of the Like Us series and I'm feeling some type of way about it all. This book definitely has "end of an era" vibes and I struggled to compose myself for the last 10% of the book. Thank you to this entire series for being such an epic part of my life these past 6.5 years. While I know it's never a goodbye, just a see you later, I'm gonna miss these characters and stories so SO much in the meantime.

Cringe is the only word to explain Luna and Donnelly romance from the beginning to the end. Thank God I don't have to read Donnelly POV ever again. I said everything about them in previous reviews except now they are extra boring. The new CEO of Fizzle plot was dragged so much when we know who will take take it, it is her book. Given that to Luna at the age of 21, while she is actively recovering from amnesia plus all she does is writes alien smut and dates her older bodyguard. The length of this isn't normal or needed it, I had to stop reading a couple of times.
Why does KBR have to make everything dramatic unnecessary? I'm talking about Ben character arc. Otherwise, all Cobalts siblings' scenes were amazing, especially with Charlie and Eliot. Also, Tom and Leo better happen.
I can't wait for the Cobalt Empire series to start. And before that happens, can we have Quinn and Frog's book? I'm giving this a 2 star for Cobalts and family scenes, but LU is finally done, and we everyone is celebrating it.

My heart is going to explode from all this love.
While I'm so very happy that I read this and it has brought me so much joy over the years, I'm also sad at the prospect of this being somewhat of a finale. Of having to see them all grown up and separate from the cluster, the mess, the laughter and the heartbreaks.
A warning though. This is is going to be a very biased rating and review, colored by my pure adoration and devotion to these characters and this world.
From crying, smiling too wide and FEELING ALL KINDS OF MELANCHOLY with the Core Six and then witnessing their children create even more of a mess of their lives has been a beautiful journey. Through the scorn and the brutal one star reviews, I still believed and loved this series and I'm so happy I read it and decided to stick around.
Moffy and Farrow will always be my favorite. Hands down. Because they started this obsession. Later, it grew into this immense love for every single character of this huge family. The bonds were tight-knit, and so very real and beautiful to read about (it is one of the best family dynamics I have read till date) and SFO (I have never been more invested in people's lives like this until now).
I was rooting for them all.
This book. At first, it was underwhelming. So many tangents that I didn't know where it was all going to go (didn't particularly care about the Fizzle takeover and the competition or the tension among the Donnellys) but I was ready to take all the crumbs I could get from all of them, and what a finale this was.
But Luna and Donnelly - they were flawed, they were broken but the way they were with each other, the way they held on to their hope, their weirdness and their unshakeable belief in each other had me sobbing.
Moments that bowled me over:
# The dynamic between Lo and Donelly
# The Yale Boys and SFO - the little flashes were not enough
# Charlie and Luna (I didn't see it come it coming, but I'm not unhappy about it at all)
“But I think deep-down, you would try to move mountains for them, if they really needed you. You just maybe don’t feel all that needed, and sometimes, you like it that way. Because it’s easier than watching people you love fail over and over again
# Ripley is too cute, I can't.
# This.
And then I realize…” Leo grips the bar casually. “You are nothing without me, and I’m nothing without you.”
They share this deep, fiery look—like an aggravation is burning a hole through both of them from their unceasing rivalry, stoked by their ballet company
Add in Jo and I'm a goner.
# Frog and Quinn. If they don't end up together, it will be a terrible crime.
I'm not going to survive when the next series drops. I've been waiting for way tooo long for the Cobalts to just destroy me and leave me in ruins.

“When the world ends. When this one chapter to our book closes. I’d like to think that those who know us best will say there was nobody like us. That we left this world how we lived inside of it. Fully, devotedly, lovingly. Strange and weird.”
I feel so empty.

Qué manera tan malditamente BONITA de terminar con esta saga que me lleno de un chingo de emociones y que, me dejó a personajes que son y seran por siempre mis favs. 🤧🤧🤧
De verdad, pensé que nunca le diríamos adiós a esta serie pero bueno, como dije, terminó de la manera perfecta o como debía de ser.
Dios, estos libros me causan mucha nostalgia y amor al mismo tiempo. Quisiera poder vivir dentro de los y convivir con estos personajes que amo demasiado.
Luna y Donnelly serán por siempre mis favs, y ver su evolución en este libro, es muy pinché bonito y de verdad no puedo expresar lo mucho que los quiero y lo mucho que han y sigue influenciando mi vida. Me alegra haber tenido un pequeño vistazo de lo que será su vida y su futuro y pues no sé, me pone feliz y triste al mismo tiempo. 👽💚🤙🏻
Saber que siempre estuvieron destinados a estar juntos, me pone muy feliz y alfjlsjfks ay no sé, amo completamente lo que construyeron y lo que son en sí.
Su amor es tan fuera de este mundo, que duele mucho. 🪐💫
Y también, OMEGA estará por siempre en mi cora y recordaré todos los momentos tan bonitos que pasaron ellos como la familia que son. 🤧🥲
Saber de quién será el siguiente libro me sorprendió y a la vez no porque, al final del libro, hubo demasiadas pistas y akfjakfjsk estoy ansiosa por leerlo. ✨
Y ahora, ¿qué hago con el vacío que ya me dejó este libro/saga? 🥺

ok. as with nearly every other book in this series, i'm conflicted.
i'm just... not the target audience for these books, and YET, something brings me back with each new one. i don't even remember how i stumbled onto the OG addicted series, bc they were all het new adult romance which is not my vibe, but i got hooked/attatched to the characters and... like 20 smth books left, here we are. these twins have written ONE sapphic book and it was a standalone (i loved it, so, ya know, i'm desprete for them to write more but not holding my breath). these are all largely het romances that i tend to have issues with (they are SO attatched to age gap romances where the girl in question is always younger, and nearly always less sexually experienced at it's Such a thing at this point i hate it!!! it drives me nuts the way they write them, and YET).
and yET, is a theme, for me and this series.
it is very much not my vibe, but i've devoured each and every new book, and not only that, i COME BACK TO THEM every once in a while. for me, the draw is the familial dynamics. the sister dynamics is what drew me into the OG series, and the siblings/cousin dynamics is what keeps me here, despite the fact that they tend to take the backseat/get skipped over a LOT. the glimpses of what we get, i like. i've long since made peace with the fact that i'm not the target audience, and largely just stopped worrying abt it, but there IS a frustration that lingers when i get glimpses of stuff i'd love to have explored more, only for it to be skipped over and another drawn out scene of the male love interests, usually.
in this specfic one, there were things i liked, and things that annoyed me. i liked seeing a bit more of the hale family and luna and her parents (but was rlly irritated to see both those dynamics way overshadowed with donnelly bonding with lily and lo more than luna) and seeing more of luna and the cobalt boys friendship was fun, but i was super bummed that we got basically nothing of jane or sulli and hardly anything at all with kinney. as a series finale... i was rlly bummed at the lack of the other characters. i would have loved something kinda like Some Kind of Perfect where we get multiple couple povs again (especially jane, got she got so shaffted by this series--least amount of books and also (imo) some of the worst/most boring books at that). it bums me so hard at the lack of female relationships in this family. we always get lines SAYING they are close/hanging out, and never get to see much of it, yet we get a ton of scenes of the bodyguards bonding.
my MAIN annoyance and frustration with this one was the way they talked abt sex. it was SO heteronormative the way they kept being like "we can't have sex yet" bc luna was a 'psedo virgin' bc she lost her memories of the time when she was sexually active before she got with donnelly, and THEY WERE CONSTANTLY HAVING SEX. ORAL SEX, IS SEX. JUST BC IT'S NOT PIV SEX YOU ARE STILL HAVING SEX. THIS DROVE ME WILD AND NOT AT ALL IN THE GOOD WAY. it only futher cemented my irritation at how they write smut, het dynamics, and experienced older men/younger virginal-like girls.
overall, i enjoyed this one more than i thought i would since i don't really like the luna/donnelly dynamic all that much. and i know i'll likely check out the new series centered on the cobalt brothers, for nothing else than the hopes of glints of jane, rose, and audrey, bc i love them.

4.5 STARS
“I’d like to think that those who know us best will say there was nobody like us. That we left this world how we lived inside of it.”
And one more series is coming to an end. This book was exactly what one would expect for Luna and Donnelly’s last book. That pretty much summarizes whatever I’ll say next.
I loved it. For all the bad things I felt reading ULU, they’re all good now.
First of all, I loved seeing Luna’s development and growth. She matured so much since the first book, finding out more about herself, her passions and path for her to follow. I loved following her as she was learning more of who she was before the accident, and who she wants to be now. And honestly, I kind of hate how all her memories didn’t explicitly return (even in the epilogue), but I can make a pass, because for the ones she remembers during the timeline of the book, at least there were good contexts and scenes.
Now, Donnelly, how can someone be so good and pure, and never lose hope or stop dreaming, after all the bad things he had to endure his entire life will always be a mystery for me—but I guess that’s just who he is. I loved to learn more about how he could overcome it all, and make peace with his past life and family.
And I love them as a couple. They can be all cringe and ridiculous but I couldn’t care less about people’s what elses. They’re quite literally everything. They make sense and understand each other in ways no one else can. And as Donnelly said—it’s been written in the stars, they were fated to find each other. Their growth—together—and the way they always manage to overcome all problems thrown at them was so precious, and their connection and feelings, magnetical. They’re enchanting.
I loved following them in this new and (probably) last chapter of their story (at least told by them). It’s always beautiful to read a story that feels so real and beautiful about a love being born and blooming—and in their case, especially for Luna, it even happened twice.
And lord, how hard can it be to say goodbye to characters I know I'll be seeing soon enough for *at least* 10 more books of *at least* two different new series, plus standalones? I kinda don;t want to think about it, but hey, at least it’s a book by Krista and Becca Ritchie, so *at most* by the end of next year, I know they’ll be back.

IM GONNA MISS THEM SO BAD😭😭😭
July 17, 2024
I loved this book so much I almost threw up. I am not exaggerating... like there were times I almost threw up because I was crying so much.
Not only was this everything Luna & Donnelly deserved, but I think every side character had their moment, and it also set up the Cobalt series so perfectly.
No one has suffered like Luna and Donnelly have suffered. To finally see them reach their peace and happy ending was indescribable. You cannot read this book and still doubt these two are soulmates. In every timeline, in every universe. They both go through so much growth, acceptance, and healing in this book, and it brought tears to my eyes.
We also got to see every side character. We even saw Willow & Garrison and Poppy & Sam! But the biggest stars were the Cobalt brothers and Xander. This book has set up that series so well, and I just know we're in for an inside ride in NYC with them. I have a feeling the Cobalt series is going to be very, very messy.
This book 100% felt like an end of an era, it wrapped up the arcs of the characters we've already read from while leaving so many possibilities out there for the other characters.

3 Lunnelly books??

more maximoff, less donnelly 💖💖💖
i couldn’t care less that this is his own book the amount of times i rolled my eyes is crazy him and luna are sooo nauseating and not in the cute fun giddy way marrow were.
kbr wanted this to be the some kind of perfect of the series so bad, but we could’ve ended with headstrong like us and i would’ve been happy. i feel like i know these characters better than those twins likeee … lo wouldn’t allow donnelly anywhere near his family over #that situation in ulu. im tired of him being bullied into approving of these grooming relationship.
maximoff does not fw donnelly at all and i love my him baddd for it. farrow needs to get hit in the head or smth bc his blind defense of donnelly is gross. like pls remember where your Real priorities lie.
another thing im not rocking w, why does every character kbr touch get pregnant/have a child barely a year into their relationship with their significant other. THEYRE ALWAYS LIKE IN THEIR 20s TOO? these famous ppl should be in the CLUB not stuck in the house taking care of a newborn.
alphas like us was the last genuinely good book in this series. kbr fumbled Bad. the two stars is for the tiny tiny marrow moments + hale siblings.

“Who wouldn’t love a Lunnelly?”
Nobody Like Us absolutely fed me all the Lunnelly love, moments, and growth I wanted and needed and also gave me so many crumbs from future potential stories to glimpses at the OG Addicted/Calloway crew. The love story between Luna and Donnelly always shines bright for me, but the non-romantic relationships in these last three books truly have a huge chunk of my heart. The way Lily and Lo have grown as parents and quasi-parents to Donnelly truly gave me so much joy. I love them so much.
I have so so many things I could say about this book and so many moments in this book that had me smiling, crying, laughing, swooning, sweating, but all I know is that I am so happy Luna and Donnelly made it to their HEA. It was written in the stars, I know, but the anticipation to forever is sometimes a little stressful as a mere reader. Anyway. Highly recommend to lovers of the Like Us series or even the Addicted/Calloway series from the same authors. I feel that these last three Like Us books truly returned to the balance of love story, life story, angst and found family that captivated me in those books.
Of course my only complaint is that it’s over. 800ish pages, thousands of annotations, and I’d still happily read more and then some. Can’t wait to see what the Ritchie’s give us in their next publishing chapters. I know it will be everything.

full review to come when I can form my thoughts
but just know this book was perfect. 💜💚 my love for these two is out of this world
i’m going to keep this short but this book was quite literally everything I wanted for luna and donnelly’s last book and the last book in the like us series. kbr said we were going to gets lots of cousin/family content and they didn’t disappoint with this. all the cobalt crumbs we got had me spiraling.
it’s not secret that I love luna and donnelly so much. I talk about them all the time.
Luna and the biggest character development/ growth in my opinion. over the span of her 3 books we’ve seen her get knocked down time after time but she really said “believe in me.. I can do it” she persevered through so much. i’m so so proud of her and everything she was able to accomplish. donnelly again proved to be the best person for luna. he loves his space babe 🥹💚 i’m so proud of donnelly for fighting for what he wants and being the best friend, boyfriend and person for everyone in his life. he’s too good for this world.
there really is nobody like luna and donnelly and as sad as I am that their story has come to an end I cant think of a better way to go out 🥹🪐🌠

How does it feel to be an author who lost credibility for lying to their readers (saying multiple times that kit x sulli will be the only 2 people in the relationship) and manipulating them (keep pushing Kitsulli's books and dangling them for many years just to fuck with them by adding a useless third wheel)? 🤔
